Gardeners' opinion
My favorite tomato variety since childhood is Korneevsky rectangular. Ripe fruits are very juicy, sweet and fleshy. Harvesting is a pleasure. One tomato can weigh up to 800 grams. The berry is not suitable for canning. Ripe fruits make excellent salad and tomato juice. It is stored for a long time, you can pamper yourself with healthy berries for a long time. The promised characteristics of the variety correspond to reality. I am continuing the family tradition and have been planting my favorite tomato for the second year now.

Good afternoon! I want to share my impressions with all tomato lovers. The description of the Korneevsky pink tomato variety corresponds to the image on the package with seeds. A beautiful green bush grows, with a bunch of large red tomatoes. The tomatoes grow in a beautiful regular shape, sugary and juicy. Features: very tall stem and large fruits. It is necessary to tie it up, otherwise the harvest will be lost.In warm summers they feel great in open ground; in cool summers they can be planted in a greenhouse. Care is not difficult, the variety is not whimsical. I've been growing tomatoes for 6 years now, and the variety has never let me down.
